Electric Fan Vs Mechanical Fan
Electric Fan Vs Mechanical Fan. The mechanical fan will not. Electric fans rely on electric energy from the battery and charging system.
The mechanical fan will not. Off road mechanical is just more reliable, that is what i run. S ss/gn registered joined mar 15, 2012 238 posts discussion starter · #9 · nov 17, 2019 thanks again,this is a short wp and i am looking at the cold case set up, rad,fans ,harness and switch.
While It's Probably Not Enough To Cool The Engine On Its Own, The Mechanical Fan Is Spinning Far Faster Than Needed.
I put a dewitts radiator in my 77 corvette with the dual fans it kept the engine real cool but the electric fans pull quite a bit of amperage especially when they initially start up. I've got a couple of mechanical fans, if you are in the market. That is why electric fans are typically the number one choice for.
When You Are Cruising, You Don't Need A Fan.
All my years and all the beaters ive owned for off road ive never had any mechanical fan issues while i always see people with electric fans over heating or having issues. The engine cooling fan needs to be “turned on and off” for the system to function properly. You may need to go with a heavier amp alternator to run.
Remove The Power Source (Mechanical Or Electric) And The Load Required To Spin The Fan To Move Air Is What It Is.
It can also free up a few extra horses! '80 cj5 w/amc360, t176, d44 w/detroit 4.56, re 4 yj lift and 35s. Electric fans rely on electric energy from the battery and charging system.
But In Cooling, What Makes A Good Fan Is Optimum Airflow For Cooling With Minimum Energy Consumption (For Maximum Engine Power And Fuel Economy).
As for the loses of mechanical fans, the gap is vastly overrated by proponents of electric fans. Unless you have a very well configured fan/shroud assembly (your's looked pretty close if not on the mark), a good electric fan will produce more cfm, both during static (stopped) and dynamic (moving) conditions than the mechanical Electric fans are generally part of an assembly that includes the shroud.

Mechanical fans cause parasitic horsepower loss because your engine expends a certain amount of power spinning your fan. Also, mechanical fans draw more air than electrical fans so they cool better if setup properly (shroud.etc. Many mechanical fan deficiencys are more a function of improper shrouding/ducting.
